Is that why they handle serpents and speak in tongues? Common sense you

I'm sorry, but I don't see where that has anything to do with common sense
or lack of same, nor what it has to do with the "right".


I'm sorry. I suppose my comment could have been stronger had I referred

Ashcroft Holds Bible Study Class in Office, Concerns Civil Libertarians
A Washington Post article revealed that Attorney General John Ashcroft, a
fundamentalist Pentecostal Christian, holds a Bible study class with Justice
Department staffers in his office. Although Ashcroft's spokesperson insisted
that attendance is not compulsory, many Justice Department employees privately
expressed concern that not attending the prayer meetings might have
repercussions.
